Disturbance: grazing, selective logging

MAT: 29.5

WMT: 34.0

CMT: 25.0

MAP: 1141.0

Habitat comments: "tropical dry evergreen forest... a 'sacred grove' or 'temple forest'... very close to human settlement (~0.2 km)... about 5 ha remain under forest cover" and there is "forest encroachment for expansion of temple structures, construction of road, cattle grazing, resource removal (fodder, firewood, medicinal plants, timber, etc.) and the impact of temple visitors by way of cooking inside the forest during festive occasions, vehicle parking and solid waste dumping (polythene, glass bottles, etc.)"

Methods

Life forms: trees

Sites: 1

Site area: 1.000

Sample size: 1338

Minimum size: 10.0cm dbh

Basal area: 34.5000 per ha

Sampling comments: "two contiguous 0.5 ha (1 ha) permanent plots (200 m × 50 m)"
per-ha data are also reported for 1992 and 2012; the 1992 data apply to two 1 ha plots but are rounded to the nearest integer, so they are useless
